This new band, what are they saying?
Is it for real, are they even trying?
Could I see myself buying into the hype?
This new band, will they bring it?
Bring the rock, or at least try to wing it?
Or will they try to keep that deadpan pose through the night?
I miss the old days, no pain no gain
Working hard, working in vain
The tunnel was bright without the light at the end
Not a single star, just equilibrium
Getting old, set in my ways
Counting years instead of days
But my hatred keeps burning from within
I'm raising kids with a burning spirit
All I hope for is that they will feel it
When they hear it
The great and restless din
